Coed 6’s - There must be at least 2 females on the court at all times. A team with less than this will be penalized 4 points a game (3 points in the 3rd game of a 3 game match). If a team has no females, then they lose by default. In addition, a team must field at least 3 players, one of whom must be female in order to play. Failure to do so will result in a default. A team may not substitute a male for a missing female.

If neither team has at least 5 points, then the game does not count in the match results, and the match is reported as a 1-1 draw.
